Title: Shelter from the Storm
Rating: PG
Summary: Jack stands before her, offering comfort, refuge. It’s been so long since she’s had either.
Disclaimer: I do not own Lost. At all. I wish but alas...
Author's Note: Used for [info]un_love_you, prompt #27: Author's Choice.



Juliet is tired.

She’s tired of the island, yes. Tired of Ben and his endless, crippling mind games, yes. She’s tired of a life spent in fear, yes. But mostly, she’s just tired.

She has spent so long now – what sometimes feels like a lifetime – standing tall and strong amidst a swirling storm. And now, her legs are getting weak, and her will even weaker.

All that she wants to do is rest – and she knows that she can’t. But Jack stands before her, offering comfort, refuge. It’s been so long since she’s she’s had either. She will not let herself to fall, not even now; instead, she wraps her arms around his neck, allowing him to help her stand.

Absolutely fantastic - my favorite glimpse into Juliet ever.

...she wraps her arms around his neck, allowing him to help her stand.

Beautiful!

I really didn't like or understand that scene until I read this. Through your words, I felt I was experiencing Juliet's weariness alongside her and then could relax a bit in Jack's arms. Great job!

Oh, poor Juliet. I think she is tired. Lovely images in this, as well.

If I were her, I'd be sooo tired, in so very many ways.

I'm glad you liked this, hun, thank you! :D

That last line is absolutely perfect. Actually, it's beyond perfection. This is an amazing ficlet. Juliet does seem so exhausted and worn out by the fight she's been putting up against Ben, against all of it...I think that's why that scene with her and Jack in TOW was so powerful, because you could just feel her reaching the end of her rope but not being able to let go and still survive. You captured that so well.

If I were Juliet, I would be so freaking tired. Of pretty much everything. I mean, Ben's a possessive psychopath who's obsessed with her, manipulates her, and she's been stuck in the same damn place for three years, not to mention everything that's happened with Jack and the other Losties...so, I think that 'The Other Woman' was definitely her reaching her breaking point, and the end was all about her allowing herself to allow someone else to hold her up.

I'm glad you liked this, hun, thanks so much! :D

This a perfect way to put that scene in perspective. It's totally believable, and I love the last part, about him helping her to not fall. Jack is good at that.

Lovely!

That was so gorgeous. I love the idea of Juliet letting a little bit of her guard down around Jack, very sweet
